I’m not sure if this is counted.
Not an account but a seed phrase that I save on the drafts of my personal mail. I’m very active on participating to airdrop before that’s why I always save Ethereum as fee was back ETH price is just 100$ each.
My computer got infected by virus that makes my backup .json file for my seed phrase deleted in the process. I knew the existence of my Ethereum wallet and all the ETH inside but I lose hope on recovering it. Luckily, I open my drafts when I’m sending an email then notice the seed phrase. I remember that I temporarily backup my Eth address when I created on MEW to my email through saving it on drafts.
This gives me around 2000$ with just a 0.6ETH
Topic: The Joy of forgotten Bitcoin accounts... - page 4. (Read 599 times)
So, I was just opening my email today....and browsing through the spam and the unsolicited junk email and phishing scams, when my eye caught a name that I have not seen in a few years. I clicked and opened the email and saw that it was a site that I joined over 5 years ago.. but I totally forgot about it.
This email warned me that the site are going to delete all the dormant accounts, so I navigated to the site (manually... not clicking on links) and tried to login. I obviously forgot the password, so I clicked on the "forgot password" option and it allowed me to change my password.
To my surprise, the account was still funded with coins that I deposited almost 5 years ago... and it was worth considerably more now... than what it was worth back then. (I think the Bitcoin price was around $7000+ at the time)
This put a huge smile on my face, because it is the EXPENSIVE holiday season and I need all the money that I can get to fund this silly time of the year.
Have you experienced the same thing..... please share your story with us.
